The ensemble Karl-Theodor-Platz

Au is an inner-city district of the city of Traunstein around Karl-Theodor-Platz. The municipality of Au, which was independent until 1914, was previously the electoral Hofmark and until 1912 the location of the Traunsteiner Saline .

history

The electoral Hofmark Au bei Traunstein was created under Duke Maximilian I in the early 17th century as a saltworks site. The Hofmark was given its own jurisdiction , which belonged to the respective Salzmaier. It cost around 130,000 guilders to build the salt works in the Au and the corresponding brine pipeline from Reichenhall to Traunstein . In 1619 the first brew with brine took place from the brine pipeline built by court architect Hanns Reiffenstuel together with his son Simon Reiffenstuel from 1617 to 1619. In 1808 Georg Friedrich von Reichenbach extended the brine pipeline to Rosenheim and modernized the route to Traunstein. The Salinenhofmark was dissolved in the same year, the Salzmaieramt was converted into the Hauptsalzamt and jurisdiction was transferred to the Traunstein Regional Court . The former Hofmarksgebiet was initially united with the municipality. As part of the formation of the community in 1819/1820, the police administration of Au and Traunstein was separated again by order of the government of the Isarkkreis on November 16, 1819 and January 4, 1820, respectively. On June 29, 1912, the last brew began in the saline. After the closure of the salt works, the city of Traunstein reached an agreement with the state after lengthy negotiations about the purchase of the property. This was completed on January 1, 1914, the purchase price was 65,000 marks , which had to be paid in twenty installments of 3,250 marks each. A prerequisite for the purchase of the property was that the city of Traunstein incorporated the Au. In the incorporation contract, which also came into force on January 1, 1914, the city was made a few conditions. So was u. a. agreed that "in order to bring the Au to traffic, the municipality has to create a direct road from Rosenheimerstraße to Heiliggeistbrücke", "the Au is to be canalized, the main local roads are gradually to be built using modern methods and sufficient local lighting is to be ensured immediately to wear". The city also undertook to "lay the high-pressure water pipe in the meadow and install hydrants at a suitable point."
